Listening to this string quartet again after a couple of years I find myself again deeply in love with it. In a way I cannot explain (I'm not a musician) it feels absolutely like MY music. Magical.
I´m impressed... this is really very fucking-ultra-mega-master good. There aren´t many strange notations, the variations and ambiences are simple but incredibly powerful and well elaborated. Very precise musicians and the composer is the jackpot. what a wonderful piece!
Ah, so many striking & remarkable features! But the passage that really floors me runs from 4:02 to 4:16. The way that time dissolves, the prolongation & fragmentation of the cello's melodic line, coincident with the settled stability of the violin's final repeated harmonized figures, the way it all evaporates into nothing after so much ado up to that point... it's a sublime moment for me, glimpse of something elemental, something totally ineffable that sends chills down my spine every time. A beautiful piece through and through, but I felt compelled to share that in particular.
I think composers like Stravinsky went WAY too far in throwing out the old "classical" ideas. This quartet is refreshingly new, yet still comprehensible.
hmmm... this is a bit reductive of Stravinsky's work. I dont think he rejected that much of the "classical ideas"(whatever this is :D), he just had a (very) particular way of restructuring things. Some went definitely too far, but Stravinsky invented so much. Still agree this Schuloff is very interesting and easy to catch.

love the use of harmonics throughout the piece

This composer really should be more widely known. How about that strange last movement? Wow.
That was exactly my reaction! WOW!
Love the energy of the first movement
What a wonderful and mysterious closing ....
thanks for posting this. wonderful music.
A very skilled composer, ,masterful quartet,,,,
00:01 to 15:06 is my favourite part! 😝
I really love this quartet!
I like that part, too. But then it's like the composer lost interest and it just stops. ;*)
Sheesh this is amazing to listen & read
The last movement has the perfect amount of dissonance. Eerie without being over-the-top.
got across this jewel yesterday, with quarteto libertas, chez F.E.A.-BH.
simply superb.
and the history shall not be forgotten!
holy third movement OMG SO AMAZING
ridiculously amazing
Thank you for posting this! I never hear of this composer before!
First time I have heard this work, or even this composer Thank you for this upload :).
Masterful writing, full of invention and Eastern European pathos. Thank you for the video!
What a wonderful quartet. The last movement was fantastic!

It rather foreshadows the last pages of the last movement, doesn't it? Very haunting.
With any doubt, this is one of my favourites quartets
Brilliant. Thanks for the upload!
Such a great composer. Can't belive that the Nazis killed him.
One my favorite interwar period composers.
Magnificient. Thx

masterpiece from a truly great human being
It's like he went through a transformation as he was writing the piece
marvelous
Nice music !
Great !

Wow! Never heard anything like this before. Borrows from nobody. Totally original. Deserves to be heard. What's his other music like?
Bring your child to be musically evaluated by Dvorak day!
first time i hear this. although i knew the name. Eye opener.
i love the modern classical sound. beautifull but very difficult.
wasnt he killed .?
He died of tuberculosis in a Nazi concentration camp.
The score is published by UNIVERSAL EDITION.

I wish that one of the as yet 19 users who gave this piece a thumbs down would explain what's wrong with this music in their opinion?
good
Does anyone have the score? I can't find it anywhere
I posted all the Schulhoff scores I am able to find here: www.mediafire.com/folder/pw7b467b6bdfv/Schulhoff%2C_E
Octavestorm thanks alot you are a lifesaver!
Octavestorm are these pieces still under copyright? If not I can upload them to imslp for you.
Where can I find the sheet music for this quartet?
Never mind; I found the answer further down in the comments. Thank you.
Sorry, but it is an absolute no go to put two advertisements in the middle of this wonderful piece.. it destroys the whole atmosphere.
11:57 - 12:08 if he had developed that somehow else
Diese Art der Musik ist mir viel zu unruhig! Sorry.
